Help - Sci Fi/fantasy book series recommendations

My 30th birthday is coming up and I am hopefully getting a tablet. I have been trying to find a good fantasy or sci fi series to read to bridge the gap to the next GoT book but am having trouble. I have already read the following:

Sword of Truth
Wheel of Time
Pretty much all Star Wars books
Song of fire and ice
Drzzit books from Forgotten Realms
Enders Game books

Does anyone have any suggestions on the next series I should tackle?

Sub question: any suggestions on tablets?

Thanks in advance!

Codex Alera - jim butcher
Mistborn- Brandon Sanderson

Those are my two favorite authors and two great series. I also like Brent Weeks.

Check out Goodreads.com. Create an account and start reviewing books that you have read. The site will recommend books to you off of your preferences. The more you review the more precise it will be. I've been using it since 2011 and now I don't hesitate, if its recommended and I don't have something already on the list, I download it.

and a Sci Fi

Peter Hamilton- The Reality Dysfunction (finished space opera trilogy that is also massive)

I'm reading the malazan books now. The books are very confusing but I still find it enjoyable. Great characters.

Steve Alten's Meg series is pretty good. Giant prehistoric shark unleashed in modern times. I have read all 4 books. A fifth is coming in the next year or so. There is a movie stuck in development hell based on this.

The Sox traded Bullfrog the only player they've got for Shottenhoffen. Four-eyes Shottenhoffen a utility infielder. They've got a whole team of utility infielders.

A friend of mine from HS/college apparently writes Sci-Fi BDSM books which are available for download as e books. I haven't read any of them as I just found out about them being available but I saw the summary for one and one of the characters has my name- which is not a very common name. I will probably have to read it to see what this character is all about and whether his description is at all like me- not much from the summary seems to fit.

btw, you mention you've read the Ender books, have you also read the Bean (shadow) books? I thought they were interesting in their own right. They carried on the story of Ender's Game a little more directly than the Ender sequels.
